Writing Prize News

Last week we asked you about writers and editors working together to improve the presentation of stories submitted to The Ink Well. Our friend @ylich in the Literatos community has published a Call to Action explaining how the arrangement would work and why it is important. Please reblog or tag anyone in the comments that may be interested in helping (remember to vote for @ylich's post, too).

The Writing Prize will be launched on Sunday 20 December 2020.

Your Help Needed! HBI shares for comments

For Writing Challenge Season 3, The Ink Well is going to have a Fast and Furious Festival. There will be a new prompt every day for twenty days from 11 January to 31 January. So exciting!

Each day will look at a different aspect of writing. For example, the prompt may be an image and you will be asked to use it to create a setting for a story in 150-300 words. Like this:

Another day, the challenge may be to write some dialogue, or to describe a character. In the second half of the challenge, The Ink Well will post some basic details and ask you to develop them in a quick story. There will also be some editing prompts, too.

So now, in the comments, tell us any ideas you have for prompts or challenges that we could include in the Fast and Furious Festival.
